- Research fellow, University of St Andrews
I am a planetary and atmospheric scientist. I wrote my PhD about atmospheric oscillations on Earth-like exoplanets. My postdoctoral research was about the fluid dynamics of the Venus atmosphere and I now work as a research fellow studying dynamics on Earth and Venus.
My interests are planetary science, climatology, geophysical fluid dynamics, modelling and simulations, and emerging space technologies.
I also freelance as a science writer and translator. I have written educational articles for Futurum Careers and maintain a personal blog about my work.
